In December 2016, the crisaborole ointment was approved by FDA for the treatment of mild atopic dermatitis. When such drugs are launched, FDA issues black box warning on the label of prescribed drug to warn users about the side effects. It is expected that new product launches in near future will significantly boost the atopic dermatitis drug market. This market offers opportunities to the companies involved in the development of novel drugs and therapies as there is an extensive need for developed medications with high safety and efficiency. Major challenges faced by atopic dermatitis drug market are side effects, high cost of treatment, and lack of good & safe therapeutics, which hinder the market growth.
